Remote Controled Rubberband Gun

Introduction: Remote Controled Rubberband Gun

Haven't you ever wanted to be able to press a button to ward away unwanted intruders? Well now you can with just a few simple steps, but first you'll need some supplies.

You will need: - An Arduino board (any model should work) - A rubber band gun (I just made one out of some wood scraps and a cloth-line clip used as a light trigger) - A battery pack (at least 9 volts) - An infrared remote and reciever - A small servo motor - Rubber bands - And tape

Step 1: Wiring Up the Arduino

1st- hook up the 9g Servo motor to the number 9 pin. 2nd- hook up the infrared receiver to the number 11 pin. 3rd- feel semi-accomplished and make sure it looks something like this..

Step 2: Programming the Arduino

1st-You will need to include the IR library in Arduino (Here is a link)

2nd- Put in the code (Attached)

3rd- Use the #1 button to open the servo and the #2 button to close it
